My favorite works are often the ones that can make you both laugh and cry - this is a prime example. This beautiful, heartbreaking, authentic, warm-hearted play should speak to anyone who’s ever gotten wisdom from a grandparent or elder. It’s a play about love when it’s hard and the power of our families. And you’ll learn some neuroscience along the way!

What a stunner. The depth and breadth of feeling that was captured in this play was so vast - across time, generations, religions, temperaments, and terrain - that I came up out of the reading startled to have not literally travelled. It was a gift to visit with all of the grandparents in the play, dazzling in their imperfect humanity, and reflect on my own lost four. Congratulations to you, Jake. I hope it has a long, vibrant life in productions around the world.

I treasure this play! The Reservoir is funny and sad and brave. Baruch Hashem for queer Jewish plays and playwrights <3
